Singing in euskera (basque language), Berri Txarrak has become one of the best rock bands within the Spanish State's panorama. Their last two albums, called "Libre©" and "Jaio. Musika. Hil" were praised as best 'Spanish' (here meaning produced in Spain, but not in Spanish language) rock/hardcore albums in 2003 and 2005 by such important magazines as Rock Sound (now Rockzone) or Mondosonoro. "Libre©" featured a guest appearence by Rise Against singer Tim Mc Ilrath.
Berri Txarrak love highly emotive, fresh and energetic songs with clever poethic lyrics not refusing to claim against every kind of injustice around and pro freedom of speech and thought. They have already toured through Germany, USA, UK, Denmark, Spain, Switzerland, Ireland, Nicaragua, Mexico, Catalunya, Taiwan, Japan...
In late 2007, Berri Txarrak released "Zertarako Amestu" (Dream for what?), a documentary on the band's philosophy, tour-diary and recording process in black and white. The DVD also includes a special live show by the band in Gernika (Basque Country). This documentary won the Best Video of the Year Gaztea Award in 2008.
In 2009, they signed up with the label Roadrunner Records and released they last album, Payola, recorded by Steve Albini at the Electrical Audio Studios in Chicago and featuring Tim McIlrath.
In January 2011, Berri Txarrak was nominated for the 10th Annual Independent Music Awards for Best Punk Song for their song "Folklore."

Bueltatzen
Berri Txarrak Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
baina zure ohetik
Mundua ikusi nahi dut
Ahazten ez duzun kantu
zure ezpainetan
kantua izan nahi dut
urte luzeegi hauetan agertu gabe
Helduidazu eskutik estu arren
ilun dago ta ez dakit bueltatzen
Itsaso izan nahi dut
zure ekaitzetan
Itsaso izan nahi dut
Etxerako bidea
soilik zure oinetan
Bidea izan nahi dut
Ta non ezkutatzen zinen orain arte...
Mundua ikusi nahi dut
baina zure ohetik
Mundua ikusi nahi dut
zure hitzen talaiatik
Ahazten ez duzun kantu
zure ezpainetan
kantua izan nahi dut
The song Bueltatzen by Berri Txarrak seems to be about a desire to explore the world, but being held back by love and a longing for return. The lyrics "Mundua ikusi nahi dut, baina zure ohetik" (I want to see the world, but from your bed) give the impression of a conflict between wanderlust and the comfort and safety of the beloved's embrace. Similarly, "Ta non ezkutatzen zinen orain arte, urte luzeegi hauetan agertu gabe" (Where have you been hiding until now, without appearing in these long years) suggests a past of love lost and a need to reconnect. The lines "ziur nintzen une horretan gaur eman gintuen abestian" (I was sure of that moment, in the song we sang today) reflect on the power of music as a way to bring back memories and emotions.

Zenbat oroitzapen. Denbora pasa eta gero (beste adin batekin) letran atentzio gehiago jarri eta gero, konturatzen naiz ze talentodunak zareten. Mila esker Lekunberri eta Berri Txarrak. 💪💪💪

Ni idea de Euskera, pero vaya puta maravilla de música y de grupo. Espero poder aprender en un futuro, aunque parece chungo!
